Kate & Rio’s Luxury Destination Wedding at D Maris Bay

Kate and Rio celebrated their unforgettable wedding at the breathtaking resort of D Maris Bay in Turkey, renowned for its world-class restaurants and spectacular views. It truly is one of the most wonderful places for a luxury destination wedding.

The celebrations began before guests even arrived at the resort. Everyone flew together on a chartered plane, so the party spirit started on British soil at the airport. It’s always extra special when we can coordinate guests travelling as a group.

The wedding weekend officially opened with a lively welcome party at Nusr-Et, where Salt Bae himself hosted the evening, keeping everyone entertained with his signature flair and incredible food.

The ceremony took place on a dramatic clifftop overlooking the bay – probably one of the most breathtaking ceremony views we’ve ever worked with. A mirrored aisle and custom mirrored platform made the setting even more spectacular. Dinner and the late-night party unfolded on the beach, with one unforgettable surprise: Rio had secretly arranged for Ashanti to fly in and perform live for Kate and their guests. The energy was electric.

The final day was dedicated to recovery, with an epic pool party featuring one of our favourite ever installations – a flower wall floating in the pool, creating the perfect backdrop for fun and photos.

A truly gorgeous wedding week, filled with family, music, laughter, and unforgettable memories at one of the world’s most luxurious resorts.
